After Reformat computer extra user account.

Hi.Borrowed A XP Home disk to reformat my computer last week and in user accounts there is a new account.ASP.NET Machine A.Limited account password protected.Anybody any idea how it would have got there.And would it be Ok to delete it.providing I can find the password.

Looks like it is better just to keep it.So will class as resolved.Anybody remember how to get past the sign in when computer starts.I have tried user accounts.Change the way users log on or off.By unticking use the welcome screen does not do it.

Thanks for that,gave it a try but as the extra user account is password protected and it will not work it also recommends not to delete the password.had a couple of problems with it.So I have decided just to leave it the way it was.Thanks for your help.And Crossbow 7 had a read of yours and like you will just keep it.Just reformatted and don't want to do it again.So better safe than sorry so will keep it. many thanks.

I also have the ASP.Net account (password protected) on my system (XP Pro) but I quite easily disabled my Welcome Screen using the method on my link. You don't delete any passwords - just disable the requirement to use one for your own account. The ASP.Net account is unaffected.

Hi.Thought that I would give you the update.I deleted the ASP Net account.And now when I reboot the computer it by-passes the sign in at the welcome screen so job done.Many Thanks for all of your help.
